Your provider reviews your medical history, examines breast shape and skin quality, and discusses your goals. This step helps determine whether a breast lift is appropriate for you.
A plan is created based on your anatomy, degree of sagging, and desired outcome. Incision placement, tissue support, and nipple positioning are carefully outlined.
The surgery is performed under anesthesia. Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned. This process is part of mastopexy, which focuses on improving breast position rather than adding volume.
After surgery, you will receive instructions to support healing. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected early on. Follow-up visits help monitor progress and recovery.
You may be a candidate if:
Your breasts have a sagging or elongated shape
Nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease
Skin has stretched due to pregnancy or weight changes
You are considering sagging breast correction without implants
You are in good overall health with realistic expectations

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful position. It is typically chosen to improve breast firmness and contour rather than to increase size.
Results from breast lifting can last for many years. Factors such as aging, weight changes, and lifestyle may affect how long results are maintained.
Yes, a breast lift involves incisions, so some scarring is expected. These are usually placed in discreet areas that can be covered by bras or swimwear, and they tend to fade and soften over time with proper care.
No, breast reshaping surgery, like a breast lift, focuses on improving position and contour. Breast augmentation adds volume using implants. In some cases, both procedures may be combined.
